Product <br />2.1 <br />Product description <br />Admixtures are liquid or powdery agents that are <br />introduced in small amounts (< 5% by mass of the <br />cement content) to concrete while it is being mixed and <br />that enhance the properties of the fresh and/or <br />hardened concrete. <br />Plasticisers and superplasticisers are admixtures <br />which reduce the water content of mixed concrete <br />without detriment to its consistency or enhance its <br />slump with or without change to the water content or <br />cause both effects simultaneously. They can also <br />display a retarding effect when used as combination <br />products. <br />The results of the Life Cycle Assessment provided in <br />this declaration have been selected from the product <br />2</p> <p>with the highest environmental impact (worst-case <br />scenario). <br />2.2 <br />Application <br />Concrete admixtures are used as constituent materials <br />for the production of concrete, mortar and grout <br />(unreinforced concrete, reinforced and prestressed <br />concrete, site-mixed and ready-mixed concrete, <br />precast concrete). Their application should be in line <br />with the manufacturer’s technical documents and <br />Declaration of Performance. <br />2.3 <br />Technical Data <br />Plasticisers and superplasticisers must comply with the <br />general requirements of /EN 934-1:2008/ and the <br />additional requirements of /EN 934-2:2009+A1:2012/.</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration EFCA – Plasticisers and Superplasticisers</p> <p>The corresponding requirements in line with /EN 9341:2008/ and /EN 934-2:2009+A1:2012/ must be <br />maintained. <br />Constructional data <br />Name</p> <p>Value</p> <p>Unit</p> <p>Density /ISO 758/ <br />Solids content /EN 480-8/</p> <p>1 - 1.6 <br />-¹</p> <p>g/ml <br />M.-% <br />log10(aH+)</p> <p>pH value /ISO 4316/ <br />Chloride content /EN <br />480-10/ <br />Alkali content /EN 48012/ <br />Corrosion behavior /EN <br />934-1/, /EN 480-14/ <br />SiO2 content /EN 192-2/ <br />Air content of fresh <br />concrete /EN 12350-7/ <br />Compressive strength <br />/EN 12390-3/ <br />Water reduction /EN <br />12350-2/, /EN 12350-5/ <br />Plasticiser</p> <p>-¹</p> <p>Maximum value to be <br />declared by the <br />M.-% <br />manufacturer <br />Maximum value to be <br />declared by the <br />M.-% <br />manufacturer <br />-²</p> <p>μ A/cm2</p> <p>-³ <br />M.-% <br />Test mix ≤ 2% by <br />volume above control <br />mix unless stated <br />Vol.-% <br />otherwise by the <br />manufacturer <br />-�</p> <p>N/mm2</p> <p>Test mix ≥ 5% compared to control mix <br />Superplasticiser: <br />Test mix ≥ 12% compared to control mix</p> <p>mm</p> <p>Increasing / maintaining <br />of consistence /EN <br />-� <br />mm <br />12350-2/, /EN 12350-5/ <br />Superplasticiser <br />Setting time /EN 480-2/ <br />-� <br />min <br />Accelerator/Retarder <br />Air void Characteristics in <br />-� <br />hardened concrete /EN <br />mm <br />480-11/ Air entrainer <br />Capillary water <br />-� <br />absorption /EN 480-5/ <br />g/mm2 <br />Densifier <br />¹ Value will be made available to user on request <br />² No corrosion behaviour test is required for admixtures <br />which only contain active substances in the list of <br />approved substances to /EN 934-1/, Annex A.1 and in <br />the list of declared substances to /EN 934-1/, Annex <br />A.2. <br />³ Maximum value must only be indicated when SiO2 <br />percentage by mass > 5% <br />� Details not relevant for this type of admixture <br />� Concrete plasticiser: <br />At 7 and 28 days: Test mix ≥ 110% of control mix <br />Superplasticiser (tested at equal consistence): <br />At 1 day: <br />Test mix ≥ 140% of control mix <br />At 28 days: <br />Test mix ≥ 115% of control mix <br />Superplasticiser (tested at equal w/c ratio): At 28 days: <br />Test mix ≥ 90% of control mix <br />� Increase in consistence <br />Increase in slump ≥ 120 mm from initial (30 ± 10) mm <br />or <br />Increase in flow ≥ 160 mm from initial (350 ± 20) mm <br />Retention of consistence 30 min after the addition: <br />the consistence of test mix ≥ initial consistence of the <br />control mix</p> <p>3</p> <p>2.4 <br />Placing on the market / Application rules <br />For products placed on the market in the European <br />Economic Area (EEA) the Construction Product <br />Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 305/2011) applies <br />/CPR/. Outside of the EEA, the corresponding national <br />regulation applies. Admixture products placed on the <br />market under the CPR require a Declaration of <br />Performance and CE marking taking consideration of <br />/EN 934-2:2009+A1:2012/. <br />For the application and use of the products the <br />respective national provisions apply. <br />2.5 <br />Delivery status <br />Plasticisers and superplasticisers are usually supplied <br />in liquid, paste or powder form in containers made of <br />steel or plastic. <br />Typical container sizes are canisters containing <br />approx. 25 kg, drums with approx. 200 kg or <br />Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) with 1000 kg. The <br />containers are shipped on wooden pallets. <br />For larger applications, loose deliveries in tank trucks <br />with a capacity in excess of 1 tonne are also used. <br />2.6 <br />Base materials / Ancillary materials <br />Plasticisers and superplasticisers essentially contain <br />ether lignosulphonate, naphthalene sulphonate, <br />melamine sulphonate and <br />polycarboxylate/polycarboxylic or mixtures thereof. <br />Defoaming agents and preservatives are added as <br />minor components and auxiliaries. <br />Active substance concentration lies between 10 and <br />40% by mass. The typical dosage of plasticisers lies <br />between 0.2 and 0.5% by mass in relation to the <br />cement weight. The typical dosage of superplasticisers <br />lies between 0.4 and 2.0% by mass in relation to the <br />cement weight. <br />The products covered by this EPD typically contain the <br />following proportions by mass of constituent materials <br />and auxiliaries referred to: <br />Lignosulphonate*: <br />max. 35% <br />Naphthalene sulphonate*: <br />max. 30% <br />Melamine sulphonate*: <br />max. 45% <br />Polycarboxylate*: <br />max. 35% <br />Additives: <br />max. 5% <br />Water: <br />approx. 55 - 75% <br />*Solid content <br />These volumes are average values and the <br />composition of products complying with the EPD can <br />deviate from these concentration levels in individual <br />cases. <br />Note: For companies to declare their products within <br />the scope of this EPD it is not sufficient to simply <br />comply with the product composition shown above. <br />The application of this EPD is only possible for <br />member companies of EFCA’s member associations <br />and only for specific formulations with a total score <br />below the declared maximum score for a product <br />group according to the associated guidance document. <br />Small volumes (< 0.5% by mass) of biocides with <br />functional chemical groups for example <br />isothiazolinones or dioxahexane are used as <br />preservatives in concrete admixtures during storage. <br />More detailed information is available in the respective <br />manufacturer's documentation (e.g. product data <br />sheets, safety data sheets). <br />Unless indicated on the safety data sheet, concrete <br />admixtures do not contain any substances in <br />concentrations of more than 0.1% which are included <br />in the list of Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) <br />for inclusion in Annex XIV of the REACH regulation.</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration EFCA – Plasticisers and Superplasticisers</p> <p>No flame retardants are used in concrete admixtures. <br />2.7 <br />Manufacture <br />Concrete admixtures are usually manufactured by <br />mixing ingredients together in batch mode and filling <br />containers for dispatch. The process follows quality <br />standards outlined in /EN 934-6:2001+A1:2005/. <br />2.8</p> <p>Environment and health during <br />manufacturing <br />As a general rule, no environmental or health <br />protection measures other than those specified by law <br />are necessary. <br />2.9 <br />Product processing/Installation <br />During concrete manufacture, concrete admixtures are <br />usually added along with the mixing water or included <br />in premixed concrete. <br />Health and safety measures (eye protection, hand <br />protection, possibly respiratory equipment and body <br />protection) are to be taken and consistently adhered to <br />in accordance with the information on the safety data <br />sheet and conditions on site. <br />2.10 Packaging <br />Reusable containers are, where practicable taken back <br />by the manufacturer and redirected into the production <br />circuit. Empty plastic or steel containers which can no <br />longer be used are recyclable. <br />Wooden reusable pallets are, where practicable taken <br />back by the manufacturer or building material trader <br />who returns them to the building product manufacturer <br />redirecting them into the production process. <br />2.11 Condition of use <br />During the use phase, concrete admixtures are firmly <br />bound into the cement matrix in hardened concrete. <br />Concrete admixtures make an essential contribution <br />towards optimising the physical and chemical <br />properties of concrete enhancing its performance, <br />durability, economic value and sustainability.</p> <p>2.12 Environment and health during use <br />During the use phase, concrete admixtures are firmly <br />bound into the cement matrix in hardened concrete. <br />No relevant risks are known for water, air and soil if the <br />products are used as designated. <br />2.13 Reference service life <br />Not relevant as this declaration relates to a preliminary <br />product. <br />2.14</p> <p>Extraordinary effects</p> <p>Fire <br />Not relevant as this declaration relates to a preliminary <br />product. <br />Water <br />Not relevant as this declaration relates to a preliminary <br />product. <br />Mechanical destruction <br />Not relevant as this declaration relates to a preliminary <br />product. <br />2.15 Re-use phase <br />Not relevant as this declaration relates to a preliminary <br />product. <br />2.16 Disposal <br />Empty, dried containers are directed to the recycling <br />process where practicable. <br />Residue must be directed to proper waste disposal <br />taking consideration of local guidelines. <br />2.17 Further information <br />More information is available in the manufacturers' <br />product or safety data sheets on the manufacturers' <br />Web sites or on request. <br />An electronic version of this declaration is available at <br />www.efca.info and www.bau-umwelt.de</p> <p>3. LCA: Calculation rules <br />3.1 <br />Declared Unit <br />This EPD refers to the declared unit of 1 kg concrete <br />admixture with a density of 1-1.6 kg/l in accordance <br />with the IBU PCR 07.2014 Part B for concrete <br />admixtures. The results of the Life Cycle Assessment <br />provided in this declaration have been selected from <br />the product with the highest environmental impact <br />(worst-case scenario). <br />Depending on the application, a corresponding <br />conversion factor such as the density to convert <br />volumetric use to mass must be taken into <br />consideration. <br />3.2 <br />System boundary <br />Modules A1, A2 and A3 are taken into consideration in <br />the LCA: <br />- A1 Production of preliminary products <br />- A2 Transport to the plant <br />- A3 Production incl. provision of energy, production of <br />packaging as well as auxiliaries and consumables and <br />waste treatment <br />The Declaration is therefore “cradle-to-gate”.</p> <p>4</p> <p>3.3 <br />Estimates and assumptions <br />For this EPD formulation and production data <br />defined by EFCA were considered. Production waste <br />was assumed to be disposed of to landfill without <br />credits as a worst case. <br />An average of plastic containers and wooden pallets <br />was considered in the LCA. <br />3.4 <br />Cut-off criteria <br />All raw materials submitted for the formulations and <br />production data were taken into consideration. <br />The manufacture of machinery, plant and other <br />infrastructure required for production of the products <br />under review was not taken into consideration in the <br />LCA. <br />Transport of packaging materials is also excluded. <br />3.5 <br />Background data <br />Data from the GaBi 6 data base was used as <br />background data. <br />3.6 <br />Data quality <br />Representative products were applied for this EPD and <br />the product in the group displaying the highest <br />environmental impact was selected for calculating the</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration EFCA – Plasticisers and Superplasticisers</p> <p>LCA results. The data sets are no more than 4 years <br />old. <br />Production data and packaging are based on details <br />provided by the manufacturer. The formulation used for <br />evaluation refers to a specific product. <br />The data quality of the background data is considered <br />to be good. <br />3.7 <br />Period under review <br />Representative formulations were compiled by EFCA <br />in 2011.</p> <p>3.8 <br />Allocation <br />No allocations were applied for production. <br />3.9 <br />Comparability <br />Basically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data <br />is only possible if all the data sets to be compared <br />were created according to /EN 15804/ and the building <br />context, respectively the product-specific <br />characteristics of performance, are taken into account.</p> <p>4. LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information <br />In accordance with the IBU PCR 07.2014 Part A, no <br />scenarios are indicated as only Modules A1-A3 are <br />declared.</p> <p>5</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration EFCA – Plasticisers and Superplasticisers</p> <p>5.

LCA: Interpretation <br />When considering upstream production and transport <br />of pre-products as well as manufacturing of the <br />concrete admixture (modules A1-A3), the main driver <br />of impacts in all categories is production of preproducts (module A1). <br />In the categories of ozone depletion potential (ODP), <br />renewable primary energy demand (PERT), <br />radioactive waste, and acidification potential (AP) a <br />fairly important contributor is the European electricity <br />grid mix, which also has minor influence on <br />photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP). <br />The plastic packaging of the concrete admixture also <br />makes a minor contribution, especially to abiotic <br />depletion potential for fossil resources (ADPF), <br />photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP), and</p> <p>6</p> <p>non-renewable primary energy demand (PENRT), as <br />do wooden pallets (in the case of PERT). <br />Generally, treatment of production waste has negligible <br />influence on results in all impact categories for this <br />product type.</p> <p>Environmental Product Declaration EFCA – Plasticisers and Superplasticisers</p> <p>7.
